Inquiry
Jack Kerouac's American Journey - Maher

American iconic author Jack Kerouac’s seminal works ON THE ROAD and VISIONS OF CODY were inspired by the real-life cross-country trips he took in the late 40s and early 50s. Tonight’s guest, writer and Kerouac scholar PAUL MAHER JR. has written a book that ties Kerouac’s actual adventures across America with Allen Ginsburg, William Burroughs and the always out of control Neal Cassady with Kerouac’s fiction. Maher’s book is JACK KEROUAC’S AMERICAN JOURNEY: THE REAL-LIFE ODYSSEY OF “ON THE ROAD”
